Maybe this can be said about every squad but it really stands out this year that there are so many of the squad with something to prove. Simon Moore has played second fiddle to some top keepers. Can he be a number 1? Can Dabo, Rose, Kelly, Jones and Godden overcome their injury troubles? Can...

Maybe Lawrence can work some magic with our current defenders too. Still think a fit Dabo and Rose will step the defence up a notch.

It's not ideal but I wonder if the rest of the incomings will be loans - LWB and CB. Hopefully Reid will be good enough at LWB backup. Having said loans are not ideal, we haven't done bad recently with them - O'Hare, James, Ostigard, McCallum etc

I think Allen is very similar to O'Hare in style and stature. I am not saying he is at the same level (though think his first touch is better and maybe his decision-making), but if he played a full season in O'Hare's position I would imagine he would have similar assists and more goals.

You are probably right but maybe COVID related as both Mason and Hillsner were involved in pre-Spain training, as was O'Hare. I am not sure Allen will go unless someone is willing to pay a reasonable sum. Robins has indicated that he likes his attitude when not in the first 11. Allen was one of...

I thought I spotted him but not easy with the distant shots and quick editing

Totally agree. He was also very good in the air.

Disappointed that we couldn't get him again if available on loan to the Championship

Some nice finishes from Gyokeres. It will make a difference him having a full pre-season with the team. Great to see Jones fully involved again. Hopefully Rose and Dabo are properly over their injuries now. Having both of those fully fit from the off will make a huge difference.

An impressive result all things considered

Must be a winger

The Trialist B will be buzzing to get out there!

Is Robins watching?

If we can't get in a left-wingback we may have to! Hopefully they have seen something in him suggesting he is adaptable - being able to play on both sides is a good sign.

Fingers crossed the staff are only mildly affected and that it has been contained quickly enough.

Great initiative. Best wishes Dave with your recovery.

It would be interesting to know who are the players that we have genuinely tried to sign and have chosen different routes. Collins and James I believe have been acknowledged by the club as failed targets. I assume Walsh would have been approached? Do we know any others?

Too tall for the new Terry Gibson then.

Danny Cashman looks tiny. Anyone know how tall he is? The new Terry Gibson?

I agree. I think he is a good back up for O'Hare. When he got up to speed he was busy and has a great first touch. Not strong enough as a defensive midfielder but certainly capable further forward, as a squad player at least.
